Users are unable to synchronize document libraries with OneDrive for Business

Hello,
We are having an issue with our users attempting to synchronize document libraries with OneDrive for Business. When a user tried to synchronize the document library either via the "SYNC" button on the document library page using IE or by
manually entering the document libraries path into the OneDrive for Business desktop app they receive the following error
"We can't connect to the specified SharePoint site". The users have the Edit permission to both the site and the document library. I have performed the following actions in attempt to get the synchronization to work.
1. Tested giving user the owner permission to the site and document library. same result.
2. Performed a repair on the users Office 2013 installation.
An interesting point to note is that I myself am able to synchronize the document libraries using both the "SYNC" button on the document library site and by entering the path manually in the desktop app. Difference between my account and the test
accounts is that I'm a site collection administrator and farm administrator. Can anyone shed some light onto this issue?

Hi Corey,
According to your description, my understanding is that the users cannot sync document libraries with OneDrive for Business.
I recommend to check the Permission Level to see if the Use Client Integration Features permission is selected.
If not, check this permission in the corresponding permission level which is granted to the users.
Please also check if the users have the right permission to sync the document library with OneDrive for Business.

  • Help! Windows Explorer crashes regularly when using "SharePoint" directory synced with OneDrive for Business

    We are using SharePoint 2013 and I want to sync document libraries with
    OneDrive for Business with my PC running Windows 7.
    In general, it works, but my Windows Explorer crashes very often (after a few minutes) when I navigate in the synced directories and open files there (or copy files into them in Windows Explorer).
    How can I find out what happens and how to avoid it?
    remark:
    We are still using Office 2007, so I installed only OneDrive for Business from the Office 2013 DVD and
    deactivated all other components like Office 2013 by hand:
    (so for example, the shared office feature or MS Info Path etc. were not installed)
    Is there a crash log, where I can find more information about the crash?
    Does OneDrive maybe need other components to be installed and can I install them without damaging my existing Office 2007 setup?

    Did  you check your Event Viewer for any errors during the time when Windows Explorer crashed?
    Thanks for this hint!
    The Log file says the following, so it seems to be WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\btncopy.dll
    to be responsible for the crashing Windows Explorer

  • Office OneNote 2013 working with OneDrive for Business

    M$ is going to be the death of me.
    So here's what I have Windows 8.1 Pro with Office 2013 Pro with OneDrive for Business with our own SharePoint 2013 environment running on a tablet. 
    I open this lovely OneNote Product and all it asks me is to sign into my M$ Account, I don't want to use my M$ account I want it to just open and allow me to create a new notebook...  It just asks me to sign into my M$ account.  I don't want to
    do that.
    So I got into my SharePoint document library,click New document, create onenote document, open it and OneNote prompts me to log into my M$ account.... 
    I don't want to use my M$ account, I want to use my OneDrive For Business and the SharePoint 2013 environment we've paid thousands of dollars for...
    Another funny thing I found is, OneNote 2013 for Mac, works with OneDrive for Business?!?!  On Windows?  NOPE!
    Am I missing something simple?

  • SharePoint with OneDrive for Business

    Hi, I'm looking for some clarification on how OneDrive works with SharePoint. The person who set up SharePoint is no longer with the company and we do not have expertise on this subject.
    We have three SharePoint 2013 servers - a database server, a web server, and a Web Apps server.
    OneDrive for Business integration works fine. However, I am now trying to upload some 20+ GB at a time but keep getting the error "there is not enough space on SharePoint. You need an additional x GB to copy these files".
    I've checked all the servers and I have sufficient free space on them - storage is presented to vSphere from the SAN.
    My question is: how exactly does the data get to its final destination on the database server? Does it go through a C: drive on one of those servers and that's why I'm getting the error message? Is there a specific service I can check to see if it's running
    to pinpoint the location of the OneDrive integration?
    Thanks in advance.

    Did you check for quotas on the MySite Site Collection? By default, I believe it is 100MB. Also, no one file can be greater than 2GB. This is a SharePoint limit.

  • Does on-premises OneDrive for Business ***REQUIRE*** an Organization ID for synchronization to local systems?

    We have an on-premises SharePoint 2013 SP1 deployment in our lab.  We access the server through three methods: direct LAN access inside the firewall, over the Internet via Forefront TMG, and over the Internet via DirectAccess.  In all three access
    cases, almost everything functions exactly as expected.
    One exception is OneDrive for Business (the on-premises version).  After creating my MySite, I can browse my OneDrive for Business, upload/download files, preview documents, share with other SharePoint users, etc.  That stuff works properly. 
    But if I click the Sync link to establish a synchronization connection between my OneDrive for Business and my desktop system, the "We're getting things ready to sync..." dialog gets overridden by a OneDrive for Business error box - "We can't
    connect to the specified SharePoint site...".
    We see this behavior whether inside or outside the firewall.  I am logged into Windows, Office 2013 applications, and SharePoint using the same credentials: my Windows domain account.
    Running Wireshark and Fiddler on my workstation, I see conversations being sent to live.microsoft.com when I click on the Sync link.  This leads me to believe that *ALL* such sync connections are established by looking up the user's account in the Microsoft
    cloud (even if the credentials are for an on-premises domain) and, further, that because of this, businesses must create an official in-cloud Organization ID for their domain even if they are not actually using Office365 services (e.g. even if they are only
    using on-premises SharePoint) if they want to sync with on-premises OneDrive for Business.
    I have seen almost zero documentation about this, and certainly nothing that states that you MUST register for an Organization ID even if you are only using on-premises SharePoint and on-premises OneDrive for Business, yet this seems to be the behavior I
    see and that theory seems to be supported by my network traces.
    So...
    1) Can anyone confirm or deny this theory, or at least give a lot more detail about how SharePoint attempts to "find" the service when you click on the Sync link?
    2) If you HAVE successfully set up on-premises OneDrive for Business and have NOT had to register an Organization ID, can you please share the details of how you configured things?
    Many thanks for any help or pointers...

    I Just checked pre-requisites for Onedrive on-prem:
    To support OneDrive for Business document libraries in SharePoint Server 2013, you must have:
    A SharePoint Server 2013 My Site Host.
    Configured the User Profile Service application.
    The user must have an existing My Site with the personal site collection created.
    To support synchronizing document libraries to a user's client workstation with the OneDrive for Business Windows Sync client, you must have:
    Either
    Office 2013 Standard or Office 2013 Professional Plus, or the stand-alone OneDrive for Business Windows Sync client.
    An Office 365 subscription that includes the Office 2013 applications.
    Client workstations running Windows 7 or Windows 8.
    If you have to purchase Office 365 then you will need Organization ID which will be required for Document SYNC, or yous should have Office 2013 installed on system.

  • OneDrive for Business iPad App with on-premise SharePoint 2013

    I don't know if this has more to do with OneDrive for Business or SharePoint 2013 itself.
    Basically we are trying to log into OneDrive for Business on the iPad app but it says "Sorry, this app doesn't support this type of authentication"
    We are using Claims Based Authentication with our On-premise SharePoint 2013 environment, which according to this table is a supported method: h**p://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/use-the-onedrive-for-business-app-on-an-iphone-or-ipad-HA104005688.aspx#_Supported__authentication
    We have tried different combinations of the username and url. Windows username, DOMAIN\username, email address, username@domain, etc. nothing seems to work.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    according to office blog, it does support SharePoint on prem with following authentication(NTLM & FBA)
    Introducing OneDrive for Business for iOS v1.2
    Q. Does this announcement apply to customers who have deployed SharePoint 2013 on-premises?
    A. Yes. The OneDrive for Business for iOS v1.2 app does support some SharePoint on-premises configurations (NTLM & FBA). We are committed to providing customers access to their OneDrive for Business in SharePoint 2013 on-premises. We also recently introduced
    new capabilities in SharePoint 2013 SP1 to more seamlessly connect on-premises investments to OneDrive for Business in Office 365. More information to be shared at SharePoint Conference 2014 (March 3-6 in Las, Vegas); we will link to the relevant information

  • Few users are unable to sign in after we added 2 more front end servers in existing pool?

    Hello, 
    We have recently extended the Lync 2010 Enterprise pool with 2 Front end servers.  Now we have totally 6 Front end servers. 
    After this change some users are unable to login. Error message: "Cannot loggin as server is temporarily unavailable"
    Captured, client logs and received the following:
    ms-diagnostics: 4004;reason="Credentials provided are not authorized to act as specified from URI";
    We have the following security settings on the newly added front end servers:
    Network security: Minimumsecurity for NTLM SSP Based clients - set to - Require 128-bit encryption 
    In other existing front end servers, it has been set to - No minimum. 
    Questions:
    1. Is that the issue for signin failure?
    2. Do we need to change this option to - No minimum in new servers and reboot it?
    Please advise. MUCH THANKS. 

    Hello 
    Those clients running in Windows 7 OS. And the error is different:
    "Cannot loggin as server is temporarily unavailable"

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS: RDS Users are unable to delete files from their desktop

    Hello,
    We are working with Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS. We also implemented User Profile Disks. This is all working fine without problems. The only issue I have is that normal users are unable to delete files from their desktop. They are getting a message:
    you'll need administrator permission to delete this file, with the prompt for administrator access.
    They can edit, copy, rename, cut and paste files. But they cannot delete a file from their desktop.
    I checked the security permissions of the files on the desktop (for example a normal self-created PDF file) and the users are owner and have "Full Control" over the files.
    I checked the file permissions and took a look under "Advanced", selecting the specific domain user and checked the "Advanced Permissions" and the user has the "Delete" option checked. So he should be able to delete the
    file.
    I am guessing this is UPD related issue, or something in GPO. But I already unlinked the GPO objects, that I felt could be the source of this problem, but without results.
    Could someone give me a hint on where to look? It's kinda annoying to users, that they can't delete their own files.

    Hello Bria,
    What you should check first, is the NTFS permissions on the User Profile Disk to begin with. See if the user has full control over the items that are in the UPD.
    Also check the GPO's that are enabled for the user and computer account. You can check that by running: gpresult /h <path>\gpresult.html
    There are two GPO settings that could prevent the user from deleting his/her own items: 
    User
    Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Windows Explorer\
    Hide these specified drives in My Computer
    Prevent access to specified drives in My
    Computer
    There might be other GPO settings, that block deleting items on the UPD, but can't think of any out of my head.
    I can only think NTFS and GPO settings that might prevent the user from deleting items. In my case it was a GPO setting, that I didn't suspect.

  • PC Users are unable to check Outlook while my (mac) Mail is open

    Ever since I upgraded to 10.4, whenever I have my Mail application open, the PC users are unable to check their IMAP mail through Outlook. The PC Users and myself are all using different accounts, but are checking the same server.
    At first, this seemed like it was a coincidence... but then I shut my powerbook and they could check their again. I have to use a web mail client to check my email when I am on the network at work.
    Any ideas to resolve this issue? Mail is set to check every 5 minutes.

    AA8 and AA9 allow Reader Rights so the user can save the form. This is restricted by the license to 500 uses. In the long run, the only advantage of the Reader Rights is for your users, not for you. You can always import the data into the form and have the same result as they had in the form. It is not necessary to transmit the full form to you, only the data. If you were developing a web form that would likely exceed the 500 uses, you would have to negotiate a price with Adobe for Reader Rights (thousands of $$ should be expected).
    If saving is important in a company environment, not online, then you may want to read the EULA carefully as to the exceptions. You will still have to have at least AA8.
    I guess the printing problem was answered.

  • Users are unable to see their own profile photo although everyone else can see it in Lync 2013 client

    We have Lync 2013, Exchange 2010 and several AD
    servers in mixed mode 2003/2008.
    All user are unable to see their own profile photo
    either in the main Lync window, in the settings or in a chat although other user can see that their photo is there and displaying. The user experiencing the issue can go open Outlook 2013 client and will see their photo displaying correctly in the file menu
    (and elsewhere) here.
    I have confirmed this happens with any new users I set up as well. We have gone through a fair amount of troubleshooting with other Lync photo issues and simple fixes such as deleting the SIP cache folder etc proves to be ineffective.
    Our Cs-ClientPolicy Global is set to websearchonly.
     We have "Replicate this attribute to the Global Catalog" set
    for the ThumbnailPhoto attribute in AD.
    We are also forcing photos from AD only (or no photo) by setting the following:
    "Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity PhotosControl -DisplayPhoto
    PhotosFromADOnly"  
    and finally we are importing the photo in ad using this PS command:
    "Import-RecipientDataProperty -Identity "Test User"
    -Picture -FileData ([Byte[]]$(Get-Content -Path "C:\pictures\testuser.jpg" -Encoding Byte -ReadCount 0))"
    The pictures being uploaded are under 10KB in size.
    I have followed many threads and will provide any information I can to help find the problem. Thank you in advance.
    EDIT: I have also tried the following but with no success: https://knowledge.zomers.eu/misc/Pages/How-to-fix-your-photo-not-showing-up-in-the-Lync-client.aspx

    Hi Jdentremont,
    Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
    the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
    deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
    To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
    1.  Navigate to
     “X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
    You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
    2. Delete all the files in this folder.
    3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
    %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
    4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
    5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.

    Eric

  • Mess with accounts in OneNote and OneDrive for Business - can't open documents from Office 365

    Hello!
    [Reposted from
    here]
    I've got Office 365 subscription (E3) with Office.
    I can view and edit OneNote notebooks on Office 365 via browser, but can't open it in OneNote.
    The similar problem exists for OneDrive for Business - some libraries are syncing, some cannot - asking for Enter credentials, but when I click - nothing happens.
    There were two accounts bound to Office 2013 - personal Microsoft ID as primary account and corporate Office 365 linked to it.
    Windows 8.1 corporate profile is linked to Microsoft ID account as well.
    Something happen with these accounts after password was changed - it seems like some account information was cached and can't be cleaned.
    I tried to uninstall Office and install it - no success.
    I cleaned computer with
    this utility from Support - no luck.
    On other Windows 8.1 computer I created new profile (with Microsoft ID account) - surprise, there are problems there as well.
    I deleted all Office15 entries from Credentials Manager - Office asked me about Office 365 login/password - I entered them, it is syncing, Haliluja, but, when Microsoft ID account was linked to Office 365 account in Office - problem appears again.
    It seems that Office 2013 uses Microsoft ID credentials for Office 365 content.
    I'd like to use Microsoft ID as primary account for Office and link Office 365 account to it, but don't want such problems. It worked fine, but I don't know what happened and how it can be analyzed and fixed.
    Update: It seems I localized the problem, but still don't know the solution.
    Scenario to reproduce error for me:
    1. Create fresh new Corporate/Domain user profile on Windows 8.1 with Office Pro 365 installed on computer with latest updates
    2. Go to SharePoint Online and browse some Libraries and OneNote notebooks - all ok
    3. Start to sync them using OneNote and OneDrive for Business - ok
    4. Link Microsoft Account with Corporate Account in Windows 8.1 - ok
    5. Syncing of _some_ (not all) Office 365 libraries and notebooks stop working - errors with access, permissions. I'm trying to enter credentials but this doesn't help
    6. Disconnect Microsoft Account and Reboot - all libraries and notebooks of Office 365 work fine again. But OneNote notebooks from OneDrive stop working :)
    How I can fix this situation and have Microsoft and Corporate account connected?

    Update 2:
    I installed PowerShell for SharePoint online cmdlets and found this user using get-SPOUser.
    I removed this user using remove-SPOUser -site
    https://mysitename.sharepoint.com -LoginName
    [email protected]
    but when I'm trying to access sharepoint from the browser with Microsoft account credentials - new record for this user is created again and I can see it with get-SPOUser :(
    So, problem is still not solved - this user is still can be authenticated (there is no such user in SharePoint site collection, there is no such user profile) and Office 2013 syncing doesn't work for Office 365 due this mess with accounts.
    I know that I can remove Sharing with external users from Site Collection and information about these users will be permanently deleted - but I don't want to do this, there are several customers who work with our documents.

  • Synchronization issues on OneDrive for Business

    Hi,
    Our OneDrive for Business experience is very confusing here. We are in the middle of a few synchronization problems that our users don't understand.
    Could not insert my screenshots, so please pardon me if the description is not clear. Full topic with screenshots can be found here: http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/172/p/273549/836906.aspx
    Description of the problem
    We have a lot of users using OneDrive for Business to synchronize three shared libraries stored on a on-premise installation of SharePoint 2013. The first setup has run (almost) smoothly, and all my users had a synchronized version of the files on the server
    (around 2GB of data). We are in the beginning of our deployment, so the users have not used it very intensively yet, and probably this is why problems start appearing.
    On computer 1, a file/folder reorganization has been realized within one folder (folder "TRAININGS") of one the libraries: creating new folders, moving files from one folder to another, renaming other folders and deleting old folders. Changes have
    been processed, and Computer 1 is now in sync with server: they now share the same file/folder organization under the "TRAININGS" folder. Also, on Computer 1, all folders and files show the "green tick" on their icon, showing that sync
    is completed.
    On computer 1, the OneDrive icon in the Windows task bar shows the synchronization is complete and does not show any sync issues.
    On computer 2, the folder "TRAINING" is a mess. The folder "TRAINING"'s icon has been the "blue arrows" for a while. Inside, I have a mix of "green tick", "blue arrows" and no icon status.
    Every now and then, the folder CATEGORIES turns to "green tick", then goes back to "blue arrows".
    If we drill down inside the sub-folders, I have the same bahaviour, some folders have "green tick", some other "blue arrows" and some other no icon status. I do not understand the logic.
    On Computer 2, no files or folders inside "TRAININGS" folder have never been opened by user "Fra".
    However, on SharePoint, I see that some files in the tree of the "TRAININGS" folder that have "last modified by" with name of the user in Computer 2, even though this user "Fra" never modified that precise file. Only user "Cla"
    did some modifications on the files and folders.
    For example, we are missing folder "TRAININGS\CATEGORIES\CATALOG STRUCTURE" on Computer 2.
    I do not understand what is going wrong there...
    Questions already answered:
    To save time for diagnosis:
    1. Does the issue only happen on the Computer 2? Please choose a PC and login with a problematic which have different issue to see what will happen.
    No, it happens also on a different PC, but with different status for each file.
    2. Have the files they upload met the restrictions of syncing SharePoint libraries? 
    No they have not:
    No special character in File Name
    524 files and 257 folders in the library
    Max length of full folder and file name is 157 characters.
    No invalid file types
    I have no idea if any file is open on any computer, and have no way of knowing it, with users all over the world.
    3. Have you tried to repair OneDrive for Business via right-clicking the OneDrive for Business icon then clicking repair? If not, please give it a shot and provide us with the result.
    Repair has been tested and does not help.
    4. Could you please clean the cache of OneDrive for Business to see if the issue persists?
    I have already tried deleting the Office Offline Cache on a similar problem one week ago. It is a pain in the neck since I have to do it on all my users who have problem (starts to be a lot), it involves re-downloading the whole contents of the libraries
    (2GB) and it does NOT solve the problem since it reappears one week later on a different set of files.
    Full delete of Office Offline Files temporarily solves the incident until the problem occurs again later. So doesn't help either.
    Please keep in mind I have over 30 other computers that have these libraries synced in 4 different countries, and I do not know whether they are properly synced or not. Repairing or resetting on the client computers is not an option if I am not sure I have
    completely solved the problem and I know for sure it will not happen again.
    5. How many files in these shared libraries? Generally, when suing OneDrive for Business, we don't recommend uploading/syncing a lot of files at a time.
    The folder "TRAININGS" where all changes have been made contains only 64 files and 42 folders.
    The library which contains the "TRAININGS" folder contains 524 files and 257 folders. But these files and folders have not been touched, except for the "TRAININGS" folder.
    I believe I am way under the 100 files that have moved at the same time.
    6. How long has the problem been waiting for? Have you tried letting it solve by itself?.
    Today, after 12 hours, Computer 2, 3 and 4 are still in the same state, synchronization is stuck.
    Can you please help me diagnose the issue and make sure it does not happen again?
    Thanks a lot.

    New update that might help.
    I have noticed on Computer 2 an anormal growth of the "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\OfficeFileCache" folder.
    The total synced libraries (both  with Office365 and with on-premise SharePoint) have a size of 5.5 GB.
    The OfficeFileCache folder has a size of 21.6GB and is growing by the minute.
    If I pause the sync, the folder stops growing. If I resume the sync, the folder grows.
    The changes are the following:
    File CentralTable21873.accdb has different date modified, but size remains the same.
    Files FSD-{id}.FSD (131,072 bytes) and  FSF-{id}.FSF  (114 bytes) are created. These files are created by pair, almost every second.
    Please find below extract of the contents of the OfficeFileCache on Computer 2. I stopped the sync at 12:07.

    If I delete those files, and restart OneDrive, they just keep being recreated.

  • Issues when trying to setup alternate sync location of OneDrive for Business / SharePoint 2013 Libraries

    Hello,
    I have an issue that prevents me from choosing the alternate location of sync'ed OneDrive for Business folders. I'm trying to setup an alternate location for synchronization, using the guidelines found in the Office support web site.
    The option to replace the default sync location appears the first time a SharePoint 2013 Library or OneDrive for Business is setup for synchronization.
    Here would be a link to a snapshot (since my account has not been verified): /Forums/getfile/443247
    At this point, the Library or personal OneDrive folder syncs correctly and the files are stored in the alternate choosen location.
    However, on when trying to setup an additionnal Library for synchronization, the alternate sync location has not been saved and reverts to the default sync location. Furthermore, the option to replace the default sync location does no longer appear
    on the dialog box.
    Here would be a link to a snapshot (since my account has not been verified): /Forums/getfile/443249
    I have tried by first sync'ing a SharePoint 2013 Library (instead of the personal OneDrive for Business folder) with the same result. Meaning that the first SharePoint 2013 Library correctly sync's in the alternate location of my choosing. However,
    any subsequent attempts to sync either a SharePoint 2013 Library or the OneDrive for Business folder results in them being sync'ed to the original default location in a folder under the user's profile directory.
    I'm using Office Professional Plus 2013 (64bits). The version of Groove.exe is 15.0.4605.1000 (12th March 2014 - 13 383 360 bytes).
    Is there something I'm missing ?
    Thanks for any help on this issue.

    Hi SpringComp,
    You can change the root path for libraries you sync to your computer, though you can do this only if you’re not currently syncing any libraries. If you’re already syncing at least one library and you want to change the path, you must first
    stop syncing all libraries. Then, the first time you run the OneDrive for Business wizard to sync a library to your computer, you’ll see an option to change the location.
    More information, please refer to the link:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/support/change-the-location-where-you-sync-sharepoint-libraries-on-your-computer-HA102893480.aspx
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,
